MOSE THE FIREMAN

Listening to the story of brawny, brave Mose, the legendary fireman from New York City, is a a treat. Michael Keaton narrates this story of another Gotham City savior. He gives Mose a broad New York accent and enlivens the tale with contemporary slang despite the story's nineteenth-century setting. Mose is a Bunyanesque figure and will be a favorite of young listeners who love those fire trucks! The jazz score by former Steely Dan founder Walter Becker is a great addition. Either part of the set, book or cassette, can stand alone. R.F.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN 97]
